Husband Make Fire


Ahhhhhhh. A drama-free Thanksgiving was had. Mother actually came to eat with us. That is roughly equivalent to a lunar landing. No addicts in the house. So nice. They take up too much space. My daughter left to spend the remainder of the weekend with her paternal grandparents and husband and I went to a cabin in the woods.

Husband likes to burn things. Doesn't he, Spencer?


We took a hike up to this water tower.


It stands watch over a sleepy lake view.


The leaves were devoid of color and yet I found them beautiful.


My constant desire to capture the reflection of the sun. You could feel the heat reflected off the water through the brisk air.


I am always impressed and haunted by these trees that die, then continue to stand year after year, through seasons and winds, storms and intense sunshine. A testimony of strength.


The sand washed out this tree. It will be years and years until it degrades. When the water comes up and covers it, it becomes petrified. Trees are decades and decades old underneath the water.

They just last and last...


Couple of very lonely horses up the mountain.


They cling to each other.


Like we do. Like we must.

  1. Each of these photos could be made into a postcard for Oklahoma. And I would buy them at travel stops, because they'd be far more beautiful than the other souvenirs.

    I'm glad your Thanksgiving was wonderful! And I hope the trend continues throughout the rest of the season.

  8. I get tired of looking at other people's pics sometimes but these were so evocative of the place and calm that I really enjoyed them. My husband and I, after Turkey Day and Christmas family drama vow to spend next x-maswith kids in a house in a secluded area of Hawaii and let everyone duke it out without us, we'll see.
